.SH NAME
openCryptoki \- A PKCS#11 implementation.

.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBopenCryptoki\fP is an implementation of the PKCS#11 API standard. It
provides an interface to the functions of underlying cryptographic
tokens, which may be implemented via software or hardware. The PKCS#11
specification has been released by RSA Labs. More information on PKCS#11
can be found on the RSA labs website: http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs.

To use openCryptoki, first run \fIpkcs11_startup\fP to initialize the
contents of the pk_config_data file. Then run the \fIpkcsslotd\fP daemon. At
this point, openCryptoki is ready to start receiving PKCS#11 requests
from user applications. If openCryptoki is included by your distro, its
likely that pkcs11_startup is run automatically by an init script.

Use the \fIpkcsconf\fP utility to further configure openCryptoki once the
daemon is running.
